I bet lots of folks are missing webmail... so I just installed
RoundCube on pilot now.  We can try it out.

I don't want the spambots to be trying to log in to this system,
so I put it behind an HTTP AUTH barrier.  So when you get a browser
pop-up, enter your LDAP (shell account) username and password.

Then you'll get a RoundCube login.  Again, use your LDAP (shell &
mail) username and password.  You MIGHT have to go to SETTINGS and
IDENTITIES to set up your display name ("Alan Porter") and your
mail FROM address ("porter at trilug.org").

My initial tests have worked OK, but I am sure you guys will break
it good.  I suppose that next up, I should look at HTTPS-ifying it.

Is that timeline OK with you?

Alan
